Abstract
The research was designed to answer an enduring question in economic and financial history and was motivated by a desire to provide additional data to Cowles (1938), the raw data for which were stored on Hollerith cards, which were lost (Goetzmann and Ibbotson, 2006). We also wanted to test theories not amenable to the use of the CRSP database, which lacks earnings data and begins in 1926 and find new measures of Common Stock returns from the 1920s over the long run.
